Remembering Duke - The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra
Featuring the Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra
One of jazz’s greatest composers, Duke Ellington continues to inspire the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. With music representing his fifty years as a bandleader, performed with vitality, swing and meticulous attention to detail, these concerts showcase this titan’s depth and diversity.
Prefaced by the Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra reinvigorating Ellington classics and rarities (including Caravan, Brasilliance, Carnegie Blues, Purple Gazelle, and Sophisticated Lady), the SNJO follows its internationally acclaimed album, In the Spirit of Duke by honouring Ellington masterpieces with vibrancy and featuring special guest, vocalist Lucy-Anne Daniels’s gospel-fired delivery.
Location: Laidlaw Music Centre, University of St Andrews
